STEP 8 Finishing and maintenance
Make sure that all lead-throughs (cables, hydraulic hoses etc.) have been laid with all due care and
secured. We recommend that the axle supports including their hose connections are treated with a
rustproofer such as Tectyl. Such a protective layer will protect the system from wear and corrosion. The
level of oil in the oil tank must be checked as part of the annual maintenance. If the axle supports are
treated every year with a rustproofing agent, this will substantially enhance the life of the product.
